    Hey, I've been doing this for the last 11 games and haven't lost yet. Thought I'd share and maybe make it easier for you guys. What I do is I stay near my flag or sometimes right at my flag if the pressure is on it. I don't cap because I am not a speeder. I removed turbo for more hp and it helps a lot, also got a fixer fleet.

    I do both I defend initially. As we take out their 2 3 guys capture capture capture. Save OB and Nitro for huge burst of gap closure when your friend drops flag.

    I main a defender, since I'm the slowest boat (even at 1.38 max speed) around with the highest hp, at the start of the match I defend my flag first instead of rushing to to capture. Unfriends will come to take my flag, and I will normally end up chasing and killing them right before they reach their base. Now I'm still close to max hp, I immediately go and take their flag and attempt a return. More times than not I successfully return to my base.

    What I've just done is killing two birds with one stone, offense and defence at the same time. This strategy works well for defenders instead of just focussing on defending the whole game.

    I've playing full support fixer- stunning shooters and healing everyone up. I've been lucky with the cover perk giving invulnerability to the flag carrier

    Well, I like to defend my flag. However I've realized that my defensive strategy is only helpful when there's two or more speeders on the team. Thanks for helping me realize that, @HARPO!

    Defence is really important. The games I’ve lost have largely been because I’ve returned with the unfriends flag (often multiple times) and been unable to score because our flag is missing.

    I think people also need to pay attention to their own flag carrier retuning. I’ve had a few instances where I’ve brought the flag back to my team, but I’m ridiculously damaged, and looking for someone to hand it over to, but no one is paying attention.

    You could just cruise thru a friendly ship then ob or nitro to "pass it off"

    Imho flagplay should be left to the yellow boats with red, blue and green boats running defense, support and interference.
    IF you're a defender, unless you have a HUGE amount of speed(I'm talking speed cap) PLUS armor, PLUS an enfo capable of running backup, then and only then should you play flag-carrying juggernaut. Otherwise don't even go for a flagpass, please.

    If you're a support fixer, your job is to keep everyone alive. It's simpler now since you lack the firepower to push the enemy flag carriers' teamflow and will not be focused for the most part. If you're a selfish fixer, stay defensive. Only go for the flag in the "last leg", your regen WILL NOT SERVE YOU IF YOU GO TO THE ENEMY BASE.

    If you're a shooter, NEVER EVER TRY TO TAKE THE FLAG. Only do it in an emergency. YOU are the titans of defense that the yellows will be counting on. YOU can rack up 5-6k damage in a single cycle in the enddgame. You can hold down the defense very well indeed, and you should aim for that.

    Yes, that’s what I mean. I’d like to Nitro through and drop it on someone, but I can’t do that if they’re too far away, and moving further away from me, while there is an Enforcer right on my tail about to kill me and return the flag. Sometimes you need defending ships to come out and meet you, if you’re not going to make it all the way back.

    Do we HAVE to be enforcer, or does shooter work too?

    So just sit at capture unless you're yellow? Ok.

    * proceeds to be run over by team idiocy and other team's constantly superior intelligence, seriously, i ALWAYS end up with idiots as teammates, it's incredible, apologies for double swear*

    If you're saying that, you clearly don't understand the event properly.
